本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了一位外卖小哥击败北大硕士获得《中国诗词大会》总冠军的事情。
Lei Haiwei, a 37-year-old fast food courier （快递员）from Hunan Province, got first place in a televised Chinese poetry knowledge competition. He beat other competitors, including a master’s degree （硕士学位）graduate from Beijing University, in the third season of the Chinese Poetry Conference on CCTV on April 4, 2018.
“My interest in ancient poems began as early as I was six years old. My father hoped I would grow up to be a man who keeps the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas in mind,” the courier said.
In 2001, the young Lei found a job in Shanghai and began to read books related to ancient poems at bookstores or libraries in his spare time, since he didn’t make much money. The young man also developed a habit of reciting poems he liked and writing them down after returning home.
Though Lei works as a fast food courier in Hangzhou later, his love for poems never died. Even on his busiest work days, he used any available （可以利用的）moment to recite poems.“For example, I am used to reciting poems when I wait for food at restaurants, and traffic lights on my way to deliver food. Reciting poems not only enriches my knowledge, but also makes my job less boring. As for my future plan, I will stick to reading and reciting poems,” Lei said.
一名来自湖南的37岁外卖小哥雷海为在一场中国诗词知识电视竞赛中夺冠。2018年4月4日，他在中国中央电视台《中国诗词大会》第三季中击败了其他竞争对手，包括一名北京大学硕士毕业生。
雷海为说：“我早在6岁的时候就开始对古诗词感兴趣了。我父亲希望我成为一个心怀山河湖海的人。”
2011年，年轻的雷海为在上海找到了一份工作，因为挣的钱不多，他闲暇时开始在书店或图书馆阅读与古诗词相关的书籍。他还养成了背诵自己喜欢的诗词，回家后将它们写下来的习惯。
虽然雷海为后来在杭州当了外卖小哥，但他对诗歌的热爱从未消退。即使在最忙的时候，他还是争分夺秒地背诵诗词。他说：“例如，当我在餐馆等外卖时，当我在送外卖的路上等交通信号灯时，我都会背诵诗歌。背诵诗歌不仅丰富了我的知识，也使我的工作变得不那么乏味。至于我的未来规划，我将会坚持读诗、背诗。”
